But, actually, IPOs are one of the less common ways you're likely to make a return as an angel investor. Very few companies - even large ones - end up going the IPO route. And the number of companies opting to go public is steadily shrinking. But that's okay, because the most common type of exit is actually my favorite. I'm talking about acquisitions. When a startup's main product or service starts getting a lot of customer traction, you'd better believe that the world's biggest brands take notice. After all, why would the Googles, Facebooks, and Amazons of the world sit around and watch an up-and-coming business eat into their potential profits? It's much easier for those enterprises to purchase a winning startup than it is to try to compete or copy it. The best part? Acquisitions tend to happen much earlier in the startup timeline, so angels get their payout sooner. To learn more about acquisitions - and to uncover the details of one startup I think could be on track to get gobbled up by one of the world's biggest companies - click here or check out the video above.
